August 17, 2009
The 5th and final test of the 2009 Ashes series starts on the 20th August and England fans all over the world will be sitting on a knife edge as they watch the stumps at the Oval hoping that the England team will show the resolve that started to appear towards the end of the 4th test defeat at Headingly and not the complete collapse that was also present at Headingly. However it is Australia that is pushing ahead in the betting stakes available from Victor Chandler.

Can England Win the Ashes in 4th Test at Headingley?
August 6, 2009
England are 3/1 with bookmakerVictor Chandler to win the 4th Ashes Test at Headingley, a result which would see England regain the Ashes for the first time since 2005.
With the series finely poised at 1-0 to England with only two tests to play, starting at Headingley on Friday 7th August, a win for England would clinch victory ahead of the final test at The Oval in a couple of weeks time. However, at the quoted odds of 3/1 it would appear that the bookies don’t rate England’s chances of winning with a test in hand!
Australia are a best price 13/8, also with Victor Chandler, to win which would see it go to The Oval with all to play for whilst the draw is the favoured outcome for the fourth test at 6/4 with Ladbrokes.
England are currently 5/6 (best odds) with Sportingbet to win the Ashes and that price could appear a great investment come Tuesday afternoon, whether you are collecting following an England win at Headingley or have the Draw and England win on your side going to the Oval. The Aussies have not looked as good in this series as they have in the past and England have a great opportunity to regain the Ashes four years on from those famous scenes in 2005.

England’s betting odds for the 3rd test of the Ashes
July 28, 2009
England are set to take on Australia at Edgbaston on Thursday in the third test of The Ashes series, the game will start at 11:00am and run to Monday 3rd August and can be watched live on Sky Sports and via the red button on Freeview as well as audio on Radio 5 live.
A win at Edgebaston for England would make them the firm favourites to win the Ashes with a 2-0 lead and it could be decided at the end of the 4th test at Headingly. However the Australian team will be regrouping and know that a win for them at Edgebaston could turn things around for them and put the odds in their favour.

Bookies Odds Can’t Split England and Australia in Ashes 1st Test Betting
July 7, 2009
The bookies odds ahead of the first test of the 2009 Ashes between England and Australia suggest just how close the Series could be. Depending on which bookmakers odds you look at, you can back either Australia or England to get off to a winning start at the same odds of 9/4. Sportingbet are offering the best price about the Aussies, whilst Totesport are the only firm offering 9/4 that England take an early advantage in this five test series.
The favoured outcome of the game, which is being played at Cardiff’s SWALEC Stadium is the draw, which is best priced at 7/5 with any of Bet365, Paddy Power or Boylesports, however, with the weather forecasted to be good for the next five days, this game has a great chance of finishing in a positive result for either side, with the Cardiff wicket expected to suit swing ballers, a department which the Aussie’s appear to be lacking in, giving England a chance of going 1-0 up in the series – Ashes Series Betting.
